Looper Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 I have a 2017 Santa Fe, top end version. It is in completely stock condition - without any tint. The AC in the car takes a lot of time before it cools down. It has been like this since I bought the car, and I understand that Hyndai Car ACs are not very powerful. Any advice what I can do about it. Thanks a lot! don't drive like its your last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Is it 2.4 liter I4 engine or 3.3 litre V6? And if it's like this since beginning what did Juma Al Majid said for ineffective AC? If you need some proper job to upgrade AC system you can consult AC specialist Ampex in ras al khor or DIP. They are bit pricey but will do the right job in first time. Let's root for each other & watch each other grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looper Posted September 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Thanks @Gaurav It is a 3.3l V6, and being used mostly by my wife now. It has been like this from the beginning, and in fact even the test vehicle we rode 3 years ago before buying our car was similarly slow to cool. Due to the nature of my work before which was going to office early and returning late - I never noticed the difference. But after I bought my jeep, I could compare the difference in cooling speed. I will check with Ampex as you have mentioned, since I never before asked anyone - even the dealer. Do you think applying tint will help cool the car a bit faster? don't drive like its your last one.

Gaurav Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Yes of course tinting will make a big difference if you go with good quality product than just black plastic film. I hope your recirculation button is always on, than mixing aircon with outside 50 degrees of heat. Also get your AC condenser pressure wash clean, as sometimes when condenser clogs it takes longer to cool. If it still same then get your freon (AC gas) checked or top up before upgrading anything. 3 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.
